These two exceptional, privately owned lodges, run by Jan and Jaci, together with an outstanding team, will exceed all your safari expectations.
 
Situated in the MALARIA FREE Madikwe Game Reserve boasting 75,000 hectares of BIG FIVE 'territory.' You can also expect to see Wild Dog, both Black and White Rhino, extensive plains game, including Sable, Gemsbok, Springbok and Giraffe, as well as over 340 species of birds.
 
 Children / Family Activities & Facilities
 
Children of all ages are welcome at Jaci's.
 
Children aged 12 and under are comfortably accommodated in their parents' room on their own stretcher.
Children aged 7 years and under are taken on their own “Jungle Drive” during the day by one of our rangers - this is a kiddie's drive and is geared totally to the children's interests and age level. We provide an earlier evening meal at 18:00 for the "littlies" as we do not allow children in the boma for the evening meal.
 
Baby sitters are provided to look after the "littlies" while the parents are on the Game Activities.
Children aged 8 to 12 on the Game Drives with their parents are also given an earlier dinner in the dining room, when they return from the Game Drive. We find this works very well as children are hungry and tired by the time we serve and eat dinner.
 
The Game Reserve does not allow children under the age of 12 to do walks inside the Reserve.
 
We at Jaci's Safari Lodge and Jaci's Tree Lodge, invite you to share the wildness of Africa in the exclusive luxury of one (or both) of our magnificent Lodges.
 
 Accommodation
 
JACI'S SAFARI LODGE
Safari Lodge masterfully blends into its surroundings, encompassing a magnificent main area built around an ancient termite mound. The location was discovered and the concept envisaged by Jan in combination with Jaci's colourful decorating style and attention to detail you are sure of a memorable and unique Safari experience.
 
Featuring only eight large rooms and the exclusive 2 bed-roomed "Nare Suite" - all built with shaggy thatched roofs, canvas walls and large tented windows - to create a true safari atmosphere, inviting you to enjoy your bush surroundings. Early risers may catch a glimpse of Bush Babies returning to roost in the trees around the rooms or enjoy the morning Francolin calls.
 
The generous Main Lodge consists of a spacious lounge and open plan dining area with uninterrupted views of the bush. Enjoy fire cooked meals in our enclosed boma, or under the stars at a bush braai.
 
Lounge at the pool or enjoy bird watching from the hammock on the bank of the Groot Marico River
 
JACI’S TREE LODGE
Jaci's Tree Lodge opened in December 2002 - with Eight "Tree Houses", each encompassing a giant Tambotie or Leadwood Tree.
 
 Each “Tree House” is constructed amongst the Riverine forest on stilts, up to 6 meters above the ground. In these spacious “Tree Houses” – built utilizing a combination of rosewood, thatch and stacking doors - the forest surrounds are invited in, to compliment your stay with us. An open plan, en-suite bathroom with an enormous stone bath and outdoor “Jungle Shower” allow you to enjoy your forest surrounds.
 
Relax, on the deck in front of your room, in the main lodge or wander to the forest pool to cool off. Raised wooden walkways, suspended in the forest canopy lining the banks of the Marico River, will connect with the extraordinary Main Lodge and its generous facilities.
 
 Dining
 
Enjoy fire cooked meals in our enclosed boma, or under the stars at a bush braai.
